We were Amtraking home from Brooklyn; we spent three nights in Williamsburg where, as it turns out, it is impossible to find a bad meal. Unlike Manhattan.

3B is a problem. I'd stick Jagielo in, but wasn't on the Sept. 1st 40-man and is thus ineligible. I say we roll in a batting practice backstop to defend third. With Headley boycotting manager A-Rod, we have no one.

Thanks for clearing up my brain-fart; of course A-Rod will have to be the starting pitcher for games 3, 4 and (if necessary) 5 if he wants to bat, and you know he wants to bat.
